If cleanliness is next to godliness then i'm in big trouble. I would love to be one of those stay at home moms that always has their house put together but no matter how hard I try I am CONSTANTLY falling short!!!
Sometimes I fantasize about having a magic fairy (or housekeeper) to come clean my bathroom and put away the laundry but then I come back to reality.
I am just not a naturally clean person, clutter and mess seem to follow me wherever I go (guess that goes back to me being a free spirit...check out this post) Thank goodness R is not a naturally clean person either and has sympathy and patience with me. Now that I am in my 3rd trimester I totally have the nesting bug and want EVERYTHING to be neat and organized but the energy bug has not bittten me yet because I get about 45% into the project and tucker out. I do still get a thrill out of new cleaning products although most of the time they sit under my kitchen sink.
. Now don't get me wrong...we don't live in a pig sty and Hoarders (if that show doesn't motivate you to get off your bottom and clean i dont know WHAT will!!) isn't going to be knocking on my door anytime soon..I'm talking about dust and dishes and toys and stuff that is ALWAYS around! Lets just say my house does NOT look like this...
or this...
or this...
Anyone else struggling with envy right about now?!?
They are already helping me have a daily regiment of a few simple tasks to keep our home in tip top shape. They say it takes 2 weeks to build a habit and only 3 days to break it. So here is to building my habit and making my cleaning attitude go from this...
to this...
If I can be any encouragement to you about keeping your house clean then take it! otherwise pray for me! :)
Blessings.

I love a clean house but it is a lost cause with 3 boys. I'm learning to let it go.

Thank you for the encouragement! I too "try" and keep my house "company ready"....but more than not...I am telling my friends, "Let's meet at Chic Fil A" for playdates. :-)
I'm at peace now that with 2 kids, I'll just keep it clean as I can and if not, then it's ok. Cleaning can wait :) Linking up this awesome post with us made the Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop better and more special. Thank you!
I will do all the laundry with the best intentions...and proceed to get dressed from the baskets for the next week. *sigh* Martha Stewart I am not.
Following you from SJ's blog party! :)
So Proud of you
Sweetheart!!
